<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2775630, member: 27832&quot;]Xylene is an organic (in the chemistry sense, not the earthy-crunchy sense) solvent. It&#039;s relatively benign as such things go. It&#039;s similar to gasoline or kerosene, but without additives or a lot of the more toxic components.</p><p><br /></p><p>(Once upon a time, you could buy benzene, toluene, or xylene. We learned in the 70s or 80s that benzene was a nasty carcinogen, and took it off the market. Toluene was great, but as best I can tell its sin was that a sufficiently motivated person could use it as a starting point for making meth -- and meth-heads are <i>extremely</i> motivated. So it got run out of town on the same rail as iodine, phosphorus, and Sudafed.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Xylene will work better than acetone on some forms of organic gunk, varnish (refined gunk), plastics, and adhesives.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
